In May 2019, Narendra Modi won the worlds largest election. Defying expectations, he led his Bharatiya Janata Party to a resounding victory, with the highest vote share for any party in thirty years, and was re-elected as Indias Prime Minister.
What accounts for the scale of Modis win? Why, despite economic hardship and social strife, did Indians vote so overwhelmingly for him and the BJP? This book explains the economic, social and cultural processes that shaped political passions in India during the spring and summer of 2019. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together a stellar team of economists, political scientists, sociologists, historians and geographers to explain Modis win. Together, the contributors compel us to take seriously the structures of feeling in politics.
Love him or hate him, Modi secured for himself a decisive re-election as Indias Prime Minister. Passionate politics is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how that happened.
